xp user password

How do I get the password screen to NOT show up when I boot. There is not a password assigned, so why does it keep coming up?

.NET?

Check your Add/Remove Programs, and I'll bet you find the .NET Framework is installed.

Anyway, you SHOULD have a password set up on each and every account. Though for reasons I'll never understand, Microsoft got rid of the automatic login option from Win2K. You have to either edit the registry (instructions in the MSKB) or use a program such as TweakUI.
